How to watch the 2019 Super Bowl from anywhere

The big game is coming up, and I, Jack the Donkey, am exactly as excited as my paycheck demands I be. Wooo.

Now, I understand you humans really enjoy watching big men throw balls around, which means it could be a real bummer for you if you’re abroad and unable to watch this breathtaking spectacle thanks to region locks and time zones.

Fortunately, as a VPN, HMA! can help with the former issue easily: all you need to do is figure out how you want to stream. To that end, I’ve thrown together a quick list of some the streams and services you could use to watch the Super Bowl, and how HMA! can make the impossible, possible.

Watch on the official CBS Super Bowl stream

Nothin’ beats doing things properly. The official CBS Super Bowl stream will broadcast the whole thing live, and only cost you 6 bucks a month, or nothing for a few days if you sign up for the free trial. CBS is only offering this stream in the USA… but with a little bit of magic, and a whole lot of VPN, you can access it anywhere in the world.

Stream the Super Bowl free with the BBC iPlayer

Because there’s nothing more British than American Football, BBC 1 is offering a broadcast and stream of the super bowl to people in the UK. But before you break out the fish and chips, note that the BBC won’t be playing the Super Bowl halftime show, or those famous commercials. But at least you can find the latter on YouTube.

Go to BBC iPlayer. Make sure you use the device you’ve got your VPN set up on, obviously.

Don’t get distracted by Les Miserables.

Live stream Super Bowl 53 on YouTube TV

I didn’t know YouTube had a TV service either, but apparently it’s a thing, letting you broadcast network TV straight onto your computer. Good for How I Met Your Mother reruns and, obviously, the Super Bowl, but bad because it’s region-locked and costs forty bucks a month. Fortunately, there’s a 14-day free trial, and if you only want it for the Super Bowl, well... I won’t snitch.

Set up HMA! on whatever device you prefer (picking up on a pattern yet?)

Connect to a US-based location (you’ll be seeing this a lot).

Go to YouTube TV and make an account. As with other services, they’re gonna ask for a ZIP code and credit card, so watch out for auto-renewal.

Watch Football with PlayStation VUE

I know the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the PlayStation is a 45-dollar streaming service. PlayStation VUE offers a lot of streaming options, including CBS, which hosts the big game, and even has a 7-day free trial, which is great because you’ll only need it for 1. Bad news, you have to be in the US. Good news: HMA! can get you there, but you’ll have to install it on your router.

Go to PlayStation VUE and pick a bundle, then sign up for that free trial. You’ll need a valid US ZIP code and credit card, as per usual.

Buy as many pork rinds as you can.

Watch the Big Game free on your mobile

Verizon is being a real bro and letting people watch the Super Bowl, free, regardless of their carrier. It’s a win-win, if your idea of “winning” is sitting, hunched and squinting, as you try to follow the action on the tiny screen of your mobile device. Still, better than nothing. And pretty easy to do.

Dates and times?

Too lazy to google stuff? Or trying to keep them from collecting more data on you? I respect one of those.

The game starts at 6:30 PM EST on February 3rd. So you folks in Europe will probably need a pot or five of coffee (11:30 AM GMT), while those chilling out in Asia will need to set an early alarm (7:30 AM CST). And as a reminder, it’ll be the New England Patriots vs the Los Angeles Rams. Which means Tom Brady is probably winning another Super Bowl.

As for the halftime show, well, that depends on how the game’s going. But 8:30-9:00 EST is a safe bet. Word is the show will include Maroon 5, Travis Scott, and Big Boi. So at least this time if there are any nip slips it won’t be nearly as controversial.

And that’s about it

So there you have it. Some ways you can watch the thrilling match of a lifetime between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams. But no matter which of these you use, or where you are, you’ll need a VPN, like, say, HMA! hich, in case you missed the six other times I’ve linked to it, you can find below.
